How this figure is calculated
Net official flows from UN agencies, UNICEF (current US$) divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Net official flows from UN agencies, UNICEF (current US$) ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Net official flows from UN agencies, UNICEF Development Assistance Committee, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
